WASHINGTON, D.C.: Washington Nationals’ pitchers Stephen Strasburg (right shoulder inflammation) and Joe Ross (recovering from Tommy John surgery) both took part in a simulated game this afternoon in Nationals Park, throwing to hitters before the second game of four with the Miami Marlins in the nation’s capital. Reports on both were good.
Strasburg, who landed on the Disabled List on June 9th, looked good enough that Nats’ skipper Davey Martinez said he could be headed out on a rehab assignment in the near future.
“Stephen looks really good,” Martinez told reporters in his pregame press conference.
